365 project on the Island.

365 project on the Island.

 Went out to Toronto Island on Day 207 with my friend Jordan.  

We zoomed around the island.

Saw this little guy. I know you can't see him but there is a weasel on the rock. It dove into the water and came up with a fish. It was not an otter.

Acting dignified with the ladies who were also enjoying the weasel.

 Found this Toronto Island ghetto skate spot.

And rode it. Park 169!

 I discovered I'm as tall as a light house.

And got this little dude on camera.

I also did this.

 Day 208. Mom came over and helped me out with the garden so I bought lunch from The Works. How could I resist a burger called "SK8R Boy" complete with peanut butter, havarti and bacon. Mmmmmmmmm.

Day 209. This is my dogs empty H2O dish. It's filled now and is one of several dishes they have. Spent the afternoon watching old Xgames on youtube.

As I have been doing this whole year of skate I've meet people who are just as driven as myself to build skateboarding. I haven't met this guy but his story is great. Nelson Kiefert has been skating from New Mexico to Washington state to raise funds for a park in his home town of Shiprock, New Mexico. The story is here http://www.sk8tour.info/ and here https://www.facebook.com/pages/All-Or-Nothing-SK8-Tour/437354242975032  

He's made it to California in the heat of summer(and I think it's hot here).  Anything helps.

365 Project hits Justin Biebers home town.

365 Project hits Justin Biebers home town.

Trust me, I only use "Justin Bieber" as a buzz word that might attract more hits. I can't say anything nice so I won't say anything about him.  Although he did sign a car...Google it.

Day 205.

I had BIG plans for day 205, but I just wasn't feeling it. I won't divulge the details of my "big plans" but they involved more driving than I did and I'll leave it at that.

I hit the Mini-ramp in Wellesley, ON.

It's at the Community Centre and most of the park is indoors.

Went over to my friends place for breakfast and hung out for a while.

Hit the Baden, ON park on the way through town. The ramps are good enough but the old tennis court in pretty haggard.

Stratford, ON. Hit The Biebs hometown park and was pretty unimpressed. Concrete pre-fab on pretty lousy asphalt. Lots of bent kick plates. Something really nice could be done on the same location.

Lastly, I made it to St. Marys, ON. Nice little park but something seems awfully familiar. Chatted with some local kids about nearby parks. 

Left St. Marys and headed home. 

Day 206

Hit the big X at AJAX in honour of Rosalind Franklin's 93rd birthday.

For those who don't know, she recognised the structure of DNA is a Double Helix. Science!

 Discussing defibrillation with a group of kids at the skate park. I'm a paramedic if you didn't know.

Little article I enjoyed - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/patrick-mott/teen-health-scare_b_3644810.html

 Big Rock on the J.

I guess some days are better than others. Justin Bieber, Justin Bieber, Justin Bieber!
